Humanity, as a whole, is self-interested, shallow, ignorant, violent and immoral; small wonder, therefore, that our leaders (secret or otherwise) reflect that. You want better leaders, become better people. |

They are very dangerous...especially to smaller children who ride their bikes up and down the sidewalks where the mail box bombs go off. One of the neighbor kids almost got hit by one. |

Of course we monitored (& assisted) him and did it in a safe place. WOW do they make a hell of boom for such relatively small things. It was an awesome experiment, but nothing anyone should do unsupervised or who doesn't have some basic science/chem knowledge. Just another example of something that, in the wrong hands, can be used for "evil". Lisa I AM that I AM (I shall be what I shall be) "Be still and know..." (Psalm 46:10) |
